Finally! Pitch corrected bagpipes! T-Pain should be proud.

Tell us something.: Love playing trumpet and modern flute at church as well as Irish trad flute in a band. Been playing Irish trad and 18th century period music for about 15 years.

That may be the stupidest (is that a word?) thing I've ever seen! I couldn't even sit through it 'til the end... At least the singer looked good!

That was the convergence of influences that reached some sort of pinnacle of production.

Is this on the flip side of Rebecca Black's "Friday"?Image

Now mute, I sing that song every Friday. That song is hilarious.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Did you notice how the "pipes" "bag" (well, how else am I supposed to write it?) is a Valentine's Day heart pillowy thingum, ruffles and all? I almost got a sugar buzz just looking at it. Cute idea though. I think someone should make heart-shaped bags for real. A simple red cover would do; you don't have to have the ruffles. Too stagey.

The commentator hit the nail on the head when he added "where else could Mandinga perform apart from at Eurovision?"
